Careers; The statutory framework
The law requires all young people in England to continue in education or training until at least their 18th birthday, although in practice the vast majority of young people continue until the end of the academic year in which they turn 18. There are many options to continue education Post-16. These include:
Academic qualifications: A-Levels or International Baccalaureate
Vocational technical qualification (VTQs)s: BTECs, Cambridge Nationals or Technicals, T-Levels, Supported Internships (for SEND students with an EHCP) or Skills Toolkit
Apprenticeships
Young people can go to work, undertake voluntary work, become an intern or even set up their own business when they leave school. However, they will still need to be doing part-time training or study (the equivalent to at least one day a week) at the same time that leads to a regulated qualification, like a Vocational Technical Qualification (VTQ). This means that as well as gaining valuable experience, they’ll also gain a recognised accreditation that supports their future career. https://www.skillsforcareers.education.gov.uk/your-training-options
